Annual RECWOWE Integration Weeks

Coordinators

Integrative objectives

The final integration of RECWOWE into a new type of structure means that we need to have a community of researchers and not only a collection of individuals. As a result, the plenary conferences play a key role in integrating researchers into one group that, through RECWOWE, both offers and reveals an identification for each and everyone within a scientific community. The conferences therefore publicly show both the existence and the work of a group of researchers.

Structural objectives

The plenary conferences also play a role in the structural organisation throughout the five-year period. The schedule of the plenary conferences provides the main milestones of RECWOWE. The network has planned six different conferences over the period:

-Month-9: Conference-2: The state of the art conference in Warsaw. This conference will be based on a literature review organised within each strand and cross-strand activities, and on the presentation of some important on-going research programmes that will be incorporated into RECWOWE. Agenda meetings will also be organised then.

-Month-21: Conference-3: The Annual RECWOWE Integration Week in Oslo. During this conference, reports on the progress of the work will be presented; Further steps toward integration will be made: the standardisation for data collection, workshops for the integration activities of on-going research and the first new joint research activities/programmes.

Dissemination objectives

The plenary conferences are classified within the activity of spreading excellence because they will help to diffuse information about all activities within and outside the network. Plenary conferences will be prepared in close coordination with the Publication, Dissemination and Dialogue Centre (PUDIACwowe)
